Tomorrow is the first day of school.
I'm so nervous.
What if I'm the only one
who eats regurgitated food?
June 8
Great news!
Everyone eats regurgitated food!

Things they teach you in flight class:
We are the most accomplished fliers
on the planet.
Our average speed is 4.5 mph.
Leap backward when taking off.
Things they should teach you in flight class:
Always have a flight plan.

My parents left us with a babysitter last night.
When they got home,
eighty-seven of us were stuck
to a strip of flypaper.
Mom said we were a lot easier to watch
before we grew heads.
June 14
Today we practiced landing on moving targets.
I am standing on her head right now.
June 15
My school picture came out terrible.
Mom says next time I better
have all my eyes looking in the same direction.
June 17
My first science assignment is to use my five senses to observe something creepy.
FIVE SENSES OBSERVATION
SEE: Will not fit in jar
FEEL: Sticky
SMELL: Not so good
HEAR: Annoying slurping sound
TASTE: Not so bad

Worm and Spider came over today.
We used a magnifying glass
to take a really good look at ourselves.
Man, we are FILTHY.
July 2
I'm making an "All About Me" book
for my mom.
July 13
I asked my mom why
I can't have my own room like Worm.
Because you have 327 brothers and sisters,
that's why.
I told her we could put half of them
in the garage to save space.
I'm having a time-out in the garage right now.

Spider's grandfather is so smart.
He taught me flies were a very important part of the food chain.
Very cool.
July 15
Worm sat me down
and explained the food chain.
That is so not cool.
July 16
The babysitter came back last night.
She brought a frog.
When Mom and Dad got home,
we were all exactly where we were
when they left.
July 21
Why I would make a good superhero:
I have the most powerful flight muscles
on the planet.
I can land upside down.
I can see in all directions at once.
Spider said,
"Superheroes bend steel with bare hands.
You eat horse manure with your feet."
I never thought about it that way.
July 22
Today I learned that flies beat their wings
200 times per second.
No wonder I keep falling asleep in math.
July 23
I visited my aunt Rita today.
She's been trapped
on the wrong side of a screen for a week.
August 1
I just know I would make an excellent superhero:
I have 4000 lenses in each eye.
I can walk on walls.
I can change directions in flight
faster than the blink of a human eye.
Spider said,
"Superheroes save the world
from outer-space villains.
Your brain is the size of a sesame seed."
I never thought about it that way.
August 2
Today I told Worm and Spider that
I could never be a superhero like I wanted.
Worm looked me right in the eyes and said,
"The world needs all kinds of heroes."
Spider said,
"I never thought about it that way."
Neither did I.
